An Editor on Libel Suits.

Editor Matthew'S, Of the Buffalo Express

has CLEANED some facts that Will edify

II don't think much OF my own ex-

Mr.. Calhoun.

Mr.. LAMAR's Grafton on the occasion
OF the dedication of the CALHOUN
monument in Charleston was evidently
written not to please the ears of the
crowd assembled on that occasion, but to
aid the world of to-day and of the fu-
ture in forming just estimate OF the
great Carolinian-the greatest man in
some respects whom our country has
produced. Mr.. LAMAR did his work
well. though he had difficnlt duty to
perform. He took pains even to show
what Nr. CALHOUN understood nullif-
cstlon TO be. No doubt some of our
Rev England brethren viii be surprised
60 leorn that Mr.. WEBSTER regarded
Mr.. CALHOUN as the most patriotic
statesmen he ever knew-that is, the
great Csrolinisn always sought to legis-
late in the best interests of the whole
country and not in those Of his own
State OF section.
Nr. CALHOUN was seer. He read
tie future. His logical powers were So
great that ne could forecast the results
that would follow the adoption OF any
new governmental policy. He claimed
for himself on one celebrated occasion
that that was the only time an impene-
trable curtain had been drawn between
him and the future.
South Carolina does well 10 honor
her fsvosite and most distinguished
son. Mr.. LAMAR's Grafton is valua-
Bile contribution TO history.

Valley railroad authorities have ten
dered an excursion over the eastern
division OF their road to Old Point and
thence on the steamer John Romer to
the capes and back.
Tie officers OF the Richmond and
Allegheny railroad have also rendered
an excursion. They invite the edito-
rial gentlemen to take run over their
road to the. famous Natural Bridge.
When the members of the association
shall have disposed of the business
which calls them together they will
most likely avail themselves of these
kind invitations.
